According to the NBA, Schröder confronted and attempted to strike another player 40 minutes after the Kings’ 125-101 loss to the Lakers in a Crypto.com Arena hallway. ESPN has reported that the player was Lakers guard Luka Dončić. His suspension will begin with Sunday’s game against the Rockets, and Schröder will be eligible to return on January 16 against the Wizards.

Westbrook’s seven assists were the most in a game for him since December 27 and equal to his total in Sacramento’s prior two games. While he did shoot the ball well against the Warriors, the veteran point guard has made just 38.9 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks. That, combined with the decline in assists, has negatively affected Westbrook’s fantasy value. He’ll look to end Week 12 on a high note when the Kings host the Rockets on Sunday.

LaVine’s 6-of-8 night from inside the arc was countered by a 1-of-7 outside of it. Friday’s game was his second in the starting lineup since returning from a sprained ankle. With the Kings not showing signs of being able to climb out of the hole that they’ve dug themselves, this is a team to watch in the lead-up to the February trade deadline. LaVine’s name has been mentioned in rumors, and fantasy managers should hope for a change of scenery to ensure that he’s relevant during the playoff weeks.

For the first time since December 21 and 23, DeRozan has scored 20 points or more in back-to-back games. The decreased scoring output and percentages have the veteran wing outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. DeRozan’s season-long value remains high, but he’s one of the players on the Kings’ roster worth watching as the trade deadline approaches. The Kings end Week 12 at home against the Rockets on Sunday.

Having recorded back-to-back 20-point games for the first time since mid-December, Butler could not extend that run to three on Friday. While the rebounds and assists were solid, this is part of the issue for fantasy managers. While capable of doing a lot more, many nights feel as if he hasn’t done much more than what’s required. The fantasy ranking may be good, but one can’t blame managers for lamenting what they’re missing on most nights regarding Butler’s production.

A big part of Melton’s fantasy appeal is his ability to record complete stat lines. That didn’t happen on Friday, but the Warriors’ guard had one of his best offensive performances of the season. The 19 points were three shy of his season-high, which was recorded on Wednesday against the Bucks. Melton has been a safe bet for assists and defensive stats in the past, so there isn’t too much need for concern following Friday’s lack of numbers in those categories. And he played 19 minutes; if Melton can consistently get closer to 25 minutes, he can be a game-changer down the stretch in fantasy leagues.

Curry and the Warriors pulled away with a dominant fourth quarter, outscoring the Kings by a 40-19 margin and winning by a 137-104 final score. And he didn’t make a shot during the final frame, missing both of his attempts and then watching the final four-plus minutes from the bench. Curry did enough before the fourth quarter to offer solid value, and he finished with a season-high 10 assists and his second double-double of the season. Over the past two weeks, Curry has been a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats.

After starting Sacramento’s last 11 games, Precious Achiuwa has been moved to the bench. He’s been replaced in the lineup by Ellis, who should get the minutes needed to achieve fantasy relevance. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, there’s no need to roster Achiuwa in most fantasy leagues.

Melton’s season-best performance wasn’t highlighted by any extraordinary takeover moments. The veteran guard never scored more than eight points in any quarter; instead, he picked his spots en route to setting a new season-high. Melton got a late start to the season due to a knee injury that kept him out until December. But since returning, he’s had several good scoring performances to boost this Warriors bench. He’ll have a chance to follow up his Wednesday performance with another strong one on Friday against the Kings.

Butler notched back-to-back 20-point games for the first time since mid-December, making use of the free-throw line to accomplish such. Thirteen of his points came in the second half to help the Warriors maintain their double-digit halftime lead, and Butler didn’t make any other noteworthy contributions in this game from a statistical standpoint. His scoring did the heavy lifting for his fantasy production.

One game after fouling out against the Clippers, Curry went without a foul on Wednesday and logged 34 minutes against the Bucks. On the court, the two-time MVP shot the ball very well from the floor and posted a 13-point third quarter to help ultimately reach the 30-point mark on the evening. Curry also tied a team-high in assists and committed just one turnover in the process. He’ll get a chance to have a great impact again when he faces the Kings on Friday for the first time this season.

Green is good to go, and he should be given the assignment of defending Giannis Antetokounmpo. Offensively, the veteran forward’s fantasy value has been low this season, and turnovers have been an issue. Green should only be rostered in deep leagues.

After scoring six points in back-to-back games, Raynaud reached double figures on Tuesday. The rookie center finished one rebound shy of a double-double, but he’s now played 35 minutes or more in four of his last six appearances. Raynaud’s offensive ceiling may be capped since he’s in a lineup with three ball-dominant players (Russell Westbrook, Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan). But, over the past two weeks, he has been an 11th-round player in nine-cat formats. Despite the limited ceiling, Raynaud is worth rostering as long as the Kings are without Domantas Sabonis.

DeRozan shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc on Tuesday, the first time since December 18 (ten games) in which he’s made multiple triples in the same game. Fantasy managers don’t look to him for value in that category, but nights like Tuesday are helpful, considering the decreased scoring output. Compared to last season, DeRozan’s average (18.4) has declined by nearly four points. Because of the overall production and efficiency, he’s still offering top-50 value in nine-cat formats, but things could be better for the veteran guard/forward.

After playing 36 minutes off the bench in his first game back from a sprained ankle that sidelined him for nine games, LaVine was back in the starting lineup on Tuesday. The Kings did not have Keegan Murray, who will miss three to four weeks with a sprained ankle, so LaVine’s promotion did not come at the expense of Precious Achiuwa (nine points, nine rebounds, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in 22 minutes). LaVine recorded a complete stat line against Dallas, and he has the tools needed to threaten top-50 per-game value. Of course, that depends on how the Kings handle the trade deadline, as they should probably be “sellers.”

Payton is coming off one of his best performances of the season, scoring 14 points in 15 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Clippers. He’s also dealing with a sprained left ankle and is questionable for Tuesday’s game. With Draymond Green (ankle) also questionable, the Warriors could be forced to play without their top two defenders. Payton’s availability does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does limit the number of players the Warriors can throw at Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Murray suffered the injury in Sunday’s matchup with Milwaukee, and the injury will keep him out through the end of January at the earliest. Precious Achiuwa is the most likely beneficiary of Murray’s absence from a fantasy hoops perspective, but Nique Clifford is also in the mix to see increased run.

Stephen Curry fouled out with less than a minute left, which meant that the game-winning shot responsibility fell to Butler. He came up short, but he still had a productive stat line in the loss. Butler has been a reliable option for the Warriors this year, and he has been available, which has been an issue for him in the past. As long as that doesn’t change, he’ll continue to be an excellent value at his Yahoo! ADP of 50.3.

Unfortunately, Curry’s typical late-game heroics were cut short. Right after he hit back-to-back three-pointers, Curry committed his sixth foul, which sent him to the sidelines to watch the final 43 seconds of the game. He was still able to lead the Warriors in scoring and have a productive night, but he wasn’t able to get his team the win. It was a subpar shooting night, but he hit the big shots when they mattered. Next up on the schedule for the Warriors is a matchup with the Bucks on Wednesday.

Murray left Sunday’s game against the Bucks with a left ankle sprain and didn’t return. The 25-year-old small forward is now ruled out well in advance of Tuesday’s game against the Mavericks.

Active after a nine-game absence, LaVine was not restricted in any way on Sunday. He did come off the bench, with Precious Achiuwa (four points, three rebounds and two steals in 15 minutes) remaining in the starting lineup. However, with LaVine playing 36 minutes, he’ll likely start as soon as Tuesday’s game against the Mavericks. With Keegan Murray exiting Sunday’s game with a sprained ankle, there’s a chance that Achiuwa remains in the starting lineup for at least one more game, even if LaVine is promoted.

One game removed from becoming the highest-scoring point guard in league history, Westbrook recorded a robust stat line on Sunday. The field-goal percentage was poor, but the veteran point guard did a little bit of everything and kept the turnovers in check. Over the past two weeks, Westbrook has offered top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats. And if Keegan Murray has to miss time after spraining his left ankle, Westbrook may boast a higher fantasy ceiling in the short term.

Ellis played five minutes before exiting with a left thumb injury, and he has been ruled out for the rest of the night.

Back in the Warriors’ lineup after a one-game absence, Butler played 34 minutes against the Jazz. While the final stat line was solid, one can’t blame fantasy managers for wanting more from the veteran forward. Butler only attempted nine shots on the night, making it three straight games in which he’s failed to exceed that number. His category league value remains excellent, but Butler is capable of offering more.

For the first time since mid-December, Post has reached double figures in points in consecutive games. With Draymond Green getting ejected from Saturday’s game late in the second quarter, the Warriors needed a bit more from Post on the glass, and he answered the call.

After managing to keep Curry in check during the first half of Saturday’s game, the Jazz failed to do the same in the third quarter. He scored 20 of his team-high 31 points in the third, and the Warriors outscored the Jazz by a 42-31 margin to grab control of the game. Since returning from a quad injury that sidelined him for five games, Curry has provided first-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. The Warriors play four games in Week 12, starting with the Clippers on Monday.

Westbrook passed Oscar Robertson to become the highest scoring point guard in the history of the NBA with 26,711 points. The 37-year-old point guard also has the most rebounds of any point guard in league history as well as field goals made. Westbrook has had an incredible career and can still play at a high level. He averaged 16.2 points per game, 7.5 assists per game and 5.8 rebounds per game in December. The Kings conclude the week with a game against the Bucks on Sunday.
